Default 60,000 Mile Maintenance

I did a search on this, but to no avail. What maintenance have you guys done around 60,000 miles for your Mustang? I read the manual, and most of the stuff was checking belts, or inspecting parts. I did see that the fuel filters need to be cleaned/changed. Other than that stuff, what is some good preventative maintenance?

By the way, I have almost the exact same car, haven't seen too many True Blue Mustangs around here.

Also, flush the radiator.

one thing that is often overlooked, is brake fluid and powersteering, 60k that fuild is pretty oxidized, they are just as easy to change and p/s change will prevent the noise that you hear with a lot of fords when you steer it from a stop...

if you go to edmunds.com, they have a maintenance page where they give you all the necessary fixings at the various mileages. not bad.

My car is away for winter right now at 58,4** something like that

in the spring, this was my 'to do list' (notice, all this money to go no faster [&:])

spark plugs
oil change/filter
coolant check blah blah
fuel filter
tranny fluid (has anyone ever had difficulty changing the manual fluid in their 99-04?)
(diff is fine, just got gears)
power steering
brake fluid

waht all does a radiator flush encompass? is it simple or what? ive never done it so i was just wondering
